FORMALLY OPENED.
A Hop at Hotel Lafayette, Lake
MinnetOnka

MinnetOnka'S summer season was
formally opened at the Hotel Lafayette
last evening with hOp.in which a num-
Der of st. Paul and Minneapolis bellies
and beaux participated. By misun-
Outstanding the last train for the lake
left at $50 yesterday afternoon instead
of $50, as many supposed. and hence
the party was not so large as had been
expected. Still the hall was cOmforta-
bly, filled, and the votaries of Terpsichore
found it pleasure to have ample room
to waltz, gal0p or polka as their inclina-
tons prompted them. Thiele's orches-
ira furnished the music, and the affair
under the management of areception
committee composed equally of young
society men of st. Paul and Minneapolis

charming resort.
